Total money lost $6,000
Type of a scam Investment
This company is owned by a man that goes by the name of Brad Smith if that is even his name. He had this office in Los Angeles. He went MIA since 3 weeks ago today is 4/13/2018. This company was supposed to be a type of multi level marketing where you pay a "membership" as they call it, then you get some kind of product, which I never got by the way. I waited and waited for the product that I was promised never got it. I never got my money back I was told to write a letter and wait for my money back never happened. This same man and who ever else is behind this scam opened another company and website within the same company and building called Neutro Plus Solar. They claimed to sell solar panels and they basically scammed hundreds of people out of thousands of dollars, probably over a million dollars. I don’t have the evidence but I think this man has been scamming people out of money for a very long time. Panzi sceam… I went to their office last week, when I found out they had moved out. I was told that they even owe the building rent. It turns out it’s some kind of virtual office and the phone number they have for the company is a reception desk where they transfer calls to their cells phones or other lines. So there is no way to catch this people, but not impossible. I looked them up again and it looks like not they might have opened an office in Texas. And ALSO there’s a website called connectedinvestors.com where they appear under the same owner Brad Smith — Neutro PLus. Except now they are claiming to be a real estate investment company where they "help single families" invest in real estate. They show pictures of properties with rundown houses for innocent families to hand over their money and flip a house and hope to make money. It also seems like this company likes to target Hispanic people or just Naive people in general.
As far as tactics used by this scamming entity… because like I said this guy didn’t look smart enough to be acting alone…
He talked tons about his own personal success, he even said he owned the whole floor, suite. He took people out to dinner, he sold the dream about making money with his company and of course never delivered. He only paid back the people who threatened him or got very loud in front of other people. I never got the chance to do either. He had a lady use her bank account for other people to deposit money into her account and then he would have her give it to him. This of course was a big mistake on her part because now she’s left with the debt and looking like an accomplice. SAD. just so sad. If anybody come across this company report it don’t just walk away. Someone has to stop this people. They have no shame, no fear, they think this is the only way to survive in this world, preying on naive people, or whatever you want to call it, stupid people, but they are definitively not new at this. It’s truly sick.
